Oh dear. Mozilla has just exhibited its first symptom of "everything disease," in which it has noted the ascendancy of a competitor (Chrome), observed it, and started copying it without critically evaluating what it's copying. Call it a shark jumping or whatever you will, but this to me marks the moment Firefox's post-peak status became unambiguously evident. Remember Blake Ross' philosophy that a browser should be as invisible as possible? By turning the browser UI into a dormitory wall, Firefox's gradual descent into bloat is made concrete, and its acknowledgment of Chrome as the future leader is implicit in its blind imitation of its theming system. As for me, I'll stick with Safari.
